MSI is bringing out all of the punches on AMD’s non-overclockable Ryzen 7 5800X3D, with yet one more BIOS replace to enhance (opens in new tab) the chip’s efficiency on MSI motherboards. On this event, it comes as a function contained in the BIOS utility often called the Kombo Strike. The beta BIOS updates can be found for choose X570S, X570, and B550 MSI motherboards.
The brand new Kombo Strike utility stays a thriller. MSI did not share any in-depth particulars of the function. For instance, the outline for the BIOS says, “improved CPU efficiency of Ryzen 7 5800X3D.” However, we all know that it options 4 choices: Disabled, 1, 2, and three. The third stage most likely gives essentially the most efficiency features out of all three ranges. It is unsure how MSI managed to squeeze additional efficiency out of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, since AMD has locked down all CPU overclock parameters for the chip. It is believable that MSI may have found a way to lift the facility restrict, permitting for higher efficiency.
Suppose you care to put in this beta BIOS replace your self. In that case, it is out there for the X570S Unify, Ace, and X570 Godlike, in addition to the B550 Unify X, Unify, Gaming Edge WiFi, B550I Gaming Edge MAX WiFi and the B550M Mortar. As soon as put in, you’ll be able to entry the Kombo Strike choice within the “Overclocking/Superior CPU Configuration” of the BIOS. However beware, these are beta BIOS updates, so further bugs or instability can happen.
The second BIOS replace in underneath per week improves the Ryzen 7 5800X3D’s efficiency with MSI motherboards. The earlier BIOS replace unlocked further CPU offset, Precision Enhance Overdrive, and the Curve Optimizer on the X570 Unify.
The brand new beta BIOS additionally comes with the “CPU Offset Voltage” choice enabled for the courageous to undervolt the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Nonetheless, it is important to tread cautiously since too low of a voltage is horrible and can in the end affect the processor performance and your system’s stability.
MSI is not the one producer to supply Ryzen 7 5800X3D tweaking as Asus additionally has a number of built-in customized overclocking capabilities which work on all Ryzen 5000 processors, together with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. We have already seen overclockers push the Ryzen 7 5800X3D past 5 GHz. So, MSI’s newest BIOS will likely be a welcome addition for Ryzen 7 5800X3D house owners that wish to squeeze each little bit of efficiency out of the processor.
Ryzen 7000 will arrive this summer time, doubtlessly in September. The 3D V-Cache variants ought to come shortly after, in keeping with AMD’s newest desktop shopper CPU roadmap.
